Post WPOZZZ is too US spec...

The spare car has this stamped on the firewall under the hood, but the car is obviously US spec, with all US fenders, bumpers, and writing. I thought the ZZZ cars were not us/canada spec. Any thoughts?

The # on the firewall is written before Porsche knew where the car was going (US or ROW)..

US and Euro spec cars use the same chassis, The # in your window is used for destination.

W = West Germany
P0 = Manufacturer Code, Porsche
AA0 = Coupe, 2 liter engine, no airbags
95 = 1st and 2nd digit of model no.
7 = Check digit
G = Model year, 1986
N = Assembly Plant, Neckarsulm
1 = 3rd digit of model no. (this is why there aren't any model 952s, because you will never see a '2' in this location)
50412 = Serial number, 412th produced... nothing spectacular
